Westfield Youth Assistance Program (WYAP) recently received a $20,000 grant from Hamilton County Community Foundation (HCCF) to support WYAP’s youth-centered services.
The funding will allow WYAP to continue to support Westfield youth through services such as mentoring, tutoring, truancy support, and connections to mental health counseling, camps, and other enrichment activities. Since 2009, WYAP has worked with youth and their families who are facing challenging life circumstances, connecting them with the community’s vast array of talents, services, and resources. WYAP’s Early Intervention Advocates (EIAs) work with each individual family to create the best action plan to support each youth’s unique needs and help them reach their full potential.
“This investment from Hamilton County Community Foundation strengthens our ability to meet youth where they are and intervene early, where the greatest impact can be made,” WYAP Past President Tammy Havard said. “This partnership ensures we can continue to surround young people with the support, services, relationships, and experiences that help them reach their full potential.”
HCCF awards grants to nonprofit organizations serving residents and working to advance long-term opportunity in the community. The foundation connects donors, nonprofits, and partners to address the county’s most pressing challenges and drive lasting change.
